PROMISCUITY FOR THE MIND
NEOTENY is a wild dream. I love wood and I love working with wood. It is a Physical Manifestation of Time Travel.
Wood is Old
Wood is one of the oldest construction materials known to man. there is evidence from 6000BC of a timber house. The ubiquitous Tenon-Mortise joint is ancient and predates even the pyramids. Tusk-Tenon Joints have been dated back 7000 years at Leipzig. At Neoteny, we make these joints daily!! Every day, a piece of history from 7000 years back is recreated.
Woodworking Companies are the Oldest Companies on Earth
The world's oldest continuously ongoing independent Company operating for over 1442 years– Kongo Gumi of Japan – has all along been making Buddhist and Shinto Shrines of Wood !!! The Japanese Miyadaiku Temple Carpenters are the stuff of legend. These are the legends who made the Horyu-Ji Temple, 1300 years back, the oldest standing wood structure in the world, in use, even today.
How can one not be moved by Wood? And so I work wood. As it always has been. No contrived stories, no over-marketing, no hype. Using just wood and time. Simple, honest, sincere things made of wood. Knowledge of Science. Plenty of Research. Always wood. Forever Playful.
Science. Research. Wood. Play - NEOTENY.
SUMMARY: Wood is ancient. Wood is simple. Woodworking is over 7000 years old. Wood-users have been using woodcraft for 7000 years. There is nothing complicated about it. All there is to Wood is Neoteny and Time !!!!
